Is this the same as Artemisia absinthium?
They are related but I don’t know if their actions are the same.
Sweet Wormwood is Artemisia annua.
One caveat to that. Common names of plants often apply to numerous plants, even plants from different families, so Artemisia absinthium may be called Sweet Wormwood also for all I know.
Yes- the same substance that was banned because of serious side effects-
I am not certain. If it is the same as the wormwood herb which is widely available in health food stores as part of the treatment for internal parasites, that would be interesting.
The treatment to which I refer is: Green Walnut hull tincture for the adult parasites, Wormwood capsules for the larvae, and capsules containing fresh ground cloves for the eggs.
